them automatically
Support for auto-generated keys (Identity keys
and sequenced values)
Select subset of table-columns as object attributes
Support for formula (computed) fields in objects
Support for NULL values (IsNull and SetNull)
Name object attributes different from table-columns
Support all the data types in target language
including BLOB
Data validation on attributes provided including
range-checking, greater than, or less than checking
Extendible field validation framework. Add your
own custom field validation logic
Required and optional field checking
Save an object only if it is "dirty"
(meaning data is changed in it)
Serialization support for all objects
App GUI Designer Features
(ASP.NET & Windows Forms)
App GUI Wizard (New)
Forms Designer
List Pages Designer
Ad Hoc Search Page Designer
Menu Designer
Transaction Support
Specify insert, update, delete, and single-row
select operations
Specify multiple insert and single-row update
operations
Specify bulk updates and deletes with custom
where-clause
Specify transactional characteristics of objects
for COM+
Full transaction support for non-COM+ components
in a parent-child relationship
Non-COM+ components can also be part of client
initiated transactions
Transaction isolation levels for each object
Queries
Query Timeout
Specify joins
Select
subset of object attributes for retrieval
Specify
custom where-clause with nested queries, UNIONs,
and others
Accept
run-time parameters
Return
a collection of objects as the output of query
Support
GetCount and GetPartialRows behavior in queries
Support
SELECT DISTINCT on queries
Return
Typed DataSets as query results
Automatically
create queries based on indexes
Dynamic Queries
Same as normal queries but with following additional
features
Specify where-clause at run-time
Output of dynamic query is a collection of objects
(just like normal queries)
Relationships
Re-architected support for 1-1, 1-n, and m-n
relationships
Added support for m-n relationships (thru a
bridge table)
Parent-child relationships support for 1-1,

Lazy loading of related objects in a relationships
Cascaded updates and deletes for all relationships
provided
Automatically
create relationships between objects
Parent/Child Relationships
In
case of 1-1, 1-n, and m-n specify a parent-child

TierDeveloper does this automatically and then
generates objects code so it is calling these
stored procedures
Improves performance
Use
package syntax for generated Oracle stored procedures
Custom Hooks (safe code)
Write
custom hooks to be called by the generated code
from within the methods of objects
Custom
hooks kept separate so objects code can be regenerated
Generate
skeletons and a test application for custom
code to make it easy for you to write custom
code and test it independently
Typed Datasets
Support
for Typed DataSets for all objects

app contains pages to test each and every object
behavior
Generate
web app with or without XML/XSLT

Instantly view overlaps in objects on table-mapping
Easily see which tables haven't been mapped
Makes object design work very easy
